Once the cause behind purchasing a bouquet has been decided, one should start planning the constituents of it. Which flowers should be put in a bouquet? Suffering from this dilemma! The choice of flowers will depend on

The likes and dislikes of the recipient. For example, if the recipient does not like roses, then it is a good idea to keep it out of the bouquet. After all the bouquet is supposed to make the recipient happy not irritated! Instead of roses, carnations, orchids, forget-me-nots, geraniums etc. can be placed. These flowers also have long stalks like roses and are big enough to make the bouquet look copious.

The look that one wants to achieve. For example, if the bouquet is to be vibrant, then one should combine flowers of different variety and colors. A bouquet that has a single colored flower and only one variety indicate simplicity. If that is the recipient’s nature, then one can go ahead and choose such a bouquet. Other than that, a bouquet usually has a number of flowers and the flowers vary in color and species!

The bouquet should be a true reflection of one’s sentiments and the emotions he/she feels for the recipient.
